Rule: At crossings, an amber (yellow) flashing light is a "caution". Slow, check if the crossing is safe, and move. A red flashing light is for "stop, look and go". Come to a complete stop (don't just slow down, actually stop), check if the crossing is safe, and then move.
Traffic logic: These lights are put at unregulated crossings. Usually, main road traffic gets the "caution" and side road traffic gets the "stop" light. At "caution", slow to at least 25 kph to be safe. Remember, you need time enough to check all the other roads, especially the one on your right.
Driving hints: Regulated crossings may switch to flashing late at night, when traffic is less. Here, too, amber (yellow) is "caution" and red is "stop, look and go". Always check at such crossings, the other driver may not be careful enough, especially at night.
